I'm on Liberty as well, and I can confirm that after my initial flash, my battery life was horrible. But after a day or two of letting the ROM settle, I've seen fantastic battery life (19+ hours with moderate usage). I'll hold off on CM7 until Hash get the audio fully functional, but from what I hear, he may already have an alpha CM9 build ready to go, so I may skip CM7 entirely.

CyanogenMod7 I am running it right now its fantastic almost everything works except the camera app witch is no big deal because you can use any from the market. Really fast and snappy, the best so far, thanks to Hashcode!! p.s if you get it use the ICS Cyanogenmod theme the from the market also a ADW Ics theme It almost looks like ICS 4.0

Using Maverick ROM now, because of the new build, but I don't like the GUI. Also used the leaked 5.7.894 (debloated manually), but I like the power controls in the pull down menu.
Edit: and the battery icon.

Currently still letting 13th Angel settle, but so far it's been great. I've used Liberty, Maverick, and SD3, and so far, SD3 has had the best battery life for me. I'm loving 13th Angel, however, and I think I'll stick with it.

I had a terrible time with battery *and* GUI *and* many other things in Liberty, however. I (personally) would recommend avoiding it until it gets an update.

I'm working on Steel Droid 4.0, which should smooth out some things, and hopefully improve battery a bit more. I have a very demanding life right now, so I work on it when I can, which is limited almost exclusively to the bathroom. Lol. (It won't be this bad forever. Lol)

U must have been in the bathroom. Lol what phone do u have really? I love the steel droid rom. Im playing w the dark droid right now just cause I like the colors more. Steel droid really does have better battery life tho. And I know what u mean about trying to find time. I wish I could learn more. Anyway thanx soo much for all ur work.

buy $20 extended battery from eBay....then should be able to make it through full day heavy use no matter what the from. Best $20 I spent since had any Droid.Droid 1 battery life seemed best with custom roms for sure.

Dont you love when ROM devs chime in on the "which is the best XXX ROM?" lol I am building v5.2 of Steel Droid. And users are reporting insane battery life. Everybodys results will vary, so be warned. lol
